Experimenting with the p4est library for AMR simulations of two-phase flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many physical problems involve spatial and temporal inhomogeneities that require a very fine discretization in order to be accurately simulated. Using an adaptive mesh, a high level of resolution is used in the appropriate areas while keeping a coarse mesh elsewhere. This idea allows to save time and computations, but represents a challenge for distributed-memory environments. The MARS project (for Multiphase Adaptative Refinement Solver) intends to assess the parallel library p4est for adaptive mesh, in a case of a finite volume scheme applied to two-phase flows. Besides testing the library’s performances, particularly for load balancing, its user-friendliness in use and implementation are also exhibited here. First promising 3D simulations are even presented. Résumé. De nombreux problèmes physiques mettent en jeu des inhomogénéités spatiales et temporelles, qui pour être simulées correctement requièrent une discrétisation très fine. Utiliser un maillage adaptatif pour obtenir ce niveau de résolution dans les zones où elle est requise, et garder un maillage grossier en-dehors, permet d’intéressantes économies en temps et ressources de calcul, mais représente un défi pour le calcul distribué. Le projet MARS (Multiphase Adaptative Refinement Solver) a pour objectif d’évaluer la librairie parallèle de maillage adaptatif p4est, appliquée à un schéma de volumes finis pour un modèle bifluide d’écoulement diphasique. Outre les performances de cette librairie, en particulier en terme d’équilibrage de charge, sa facilité d’utilisation et d’implémentation sont mises en avant. Des premières simulations 3D prometteuses sont présentées.

p4est: Scalable Algorithms for Parallel Adaptive Mesh Refinement on Forests of Octrees
We present scalable algorithms for parallel adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening (AMR), partitioning, and 2:1 balancing on computational domains composed of multiple connected two-dimensional quadtrees or three-dimensional octrees, referred to as a forest of octrees. By distributing the union of octants from all octrees in parallel, we combine the high scalability proven previously for adapt...
متن کاملThe Indication of Two-Phase Flow Pattern and Slug Characteristics in a Pipeline Using CFD Method
Multiphase flows are commonly encountered in oil and gas industries. The transport of multiphase flow causes the formation of slug, the increase of pressure drop and the possibility of phase changes therefore, a set of simulation runs was performed to predict flow regimes in a horizontal pipeline, and the results were compared with the Baker chart. The effects of small downward inclinations of ...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional AMR simulations of colliding flows
Context. Colliding flows are a commonly used scenario for the formation of molecular clouds in numerical simulations. Due to the thermal instability of the warm neutral medium, turbulence is produced by cooling. Aims. We carry out a two-dimensional numerical study of colliding flows in order to test whether statistical properties inferred from adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulations are robu...

A preconditioned five-equation two-phase model coupled with an interface sharpening technique is introduced for simulation of a wide range of multiphase flows with both high and low Mach regimes. Harten-Lax-van Leer-Contact (HLLC) Riemann solver is implemented for solving the discretized equations while tangent of hyperbola for interface capturing (THINC) interface sharpening method is applied ...
متن کاملForestClaw: Hybrid forest-of-octrees AMR for hyperbolic conservation laws
We present a new hybrid paradigm for parallel adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) that combines the scalability and lightweight architecture of tree-based AMR with the computational efficiency of patch-based solvers for hyperbolic conservation laws. The key idea is to interpret each leaf of the AMR hierarchy as one uniform compute patch in Rd with md degrees of freedom, where m is customarily betwee...
